(204 ); cited in Finkelstein and Lederman, 1997, p. 483.〕 In the village is an old ''maqam'' (holy man's tomb) called ash-Shaykh Ya'qub. According to Moshe Sharon, professor of early Islamic history at Hebrew University, the tomb has been neglected. The tombstone was in secondary use in a terrace. It had an inscription dating to September 1339 in Mamluk ''naskhi'' script dedicated to a Hajji Ya'qub, son of Shaikh Dawud ibn Ahmad, who died that year. It also refers to the Mamluk sultan of that time period, al-Nasir Muhammad.〔Sharon, 1997, pp. (14 )-15.〕 Pottery sherds from the Mamluk era〔 and a hoard of 406 silver coins, mostly from the period of Sultan Baibars, have also been found.〔Mayer, 1934; cited in Finkelstein and Lederman, 1997, p. 483.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abwein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
